One step that takes you closer to heavenOne road that stretches out aheadOne word that drives you to the point of decisionOne wave that closes on a drowning manOne man who never knew the meaning of resistanceSo now the turning tide will take another prayer to paradiseTonight, a mist is rolling with the river

Tonight, the rain is coming downTonight, you reach out to the point of decisionOne wave that closes on a drowning manA man who never knew the meaning of resistanceAnd now the turning tide will take another prayer

And where it falls, nobody knowsOh, paradise, oh paradise, oh paradise, oh paradiseOne step that takes you closer to heavenThis wave that closes on a drowning manA man who never knew the meaning of foreverSo now the turning tide will take another prayer
